"We're all just trying to play our role. That's what we talked about. That's what I told them: 'Just play your role.'", Morant said after the game, highlighting the importance of team effort.
Grizzlies Unleash Offensive Powerhouse
The Grizzlies weren't just a one-man show, though. Desmond Bane added 23 points, Jaren Jackson Jr. contributed 21 points and 7 rebounds, and Tyus Jones chipped in with 14 points and 11 assists. The team's balanced scoring attack overwhelmed the Bucks' defense, creating a relentless offensive pressure.
Bucks Struggle to Contain Memphis' Intensity
